Welcome to story time with yogi Brian.

I have a story for you about the butterfly All right.

Here we go.

You ready for it once upon a time a man Will call this man Jerry so Jerry found a butterfly and This butterfly was starting to hatch out of its cocoon and Jerry Sat down and watched the butterfly for three hours and 27 minutes who's counting And Jerry was noticing that this butterfly was struggling to force itself through a little hole in the cocoon and then suddenly Jerry realized the butterfly Wasn't making any more progress and looked like it was stuck So Jerry decides to help the butterfly and he took a pair of scissors and cut some of the cocoon some of the remaining cocoon and The butterfly easily popped out But the butterfly had swollen body and small shriveled wings And Jerry was like hmm This does this doesn't look right And He sat there waiting for the butterfly to for the wings to grow bigger and Never happened The butterfly spent the rest of its life unable to fly crawling around with Small wings and a swollen body which looks like me after I eat a lot of bread Which is me And despite Jerry's kind heart because Jerry's a nice guy he's just trying to help and despite Jerry's nice heart He didn't understand that restricting the cocoon and That struggle that the butterfly needed to get through that hole Was the universe The source or God whatever you want to call it That was the universe's way of forcing the fluid from the body.

So the butterfly So so that fluid would get into the butterflies wings To prepare itself to fly So the moral the story is our struggles in life create us like everybody needs their own struggle and without struggles We don't get stronger So it's important for each and every one of us To struggle that's life.

That's not life And it's important for other people to struggle too We have to let people struggle and not save them at times Because that makes them stronger So if you're struggling now That's making you stronger and just like the butterfly That struggle to break out of the cocoon is building your wings so you can soar and fly And that is the story today.

Thank you so much for listening.

Such a moving story - it’s made me think and reflect. Thank you so much for sharing - one to remember.

Brilliant, just brilliant. I don't know if this is an original story that you wrote yourself but it's exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you my new friend.

This is an amazing story. One of introspection and understanding. It helps me to realize that all the shit I have gone through has made me who I am today. I needed that thanks, Yogi Bryan.

I received so much acceptance and hope from this short story thank you

I love, love, love this short gem 💎 of insight and inspiration ❤️ ✨️ thank you. NAMASTE 🙏🏽

I couldn’t agree more. I think today we do our kids a major disservice with the “everyone gets a trophy” mentality. Kids (and adults) have to learn about losing, struggle, and in turn growth. In the real world, not everyone wins the new job , gets the lead role in a show, wins the “big game”, gets the promotion, etc . I think it’s vital to let people learn about conflict, disappointment and how to deal with that. We aren’t doing our kids any favors by teaching them that everything they embark on is an instant success. It may take a lot of hard work and many tries- and oh how much sweeter the victory is because of the hard work and time we had to put in.

Great story for me today. I really needed to be reminded of this.

Loved your story. I’m newly divorced, raising my 11 year old son and 16 year old daughter now. I needed this story. We all struggle and it does make us stronger. Thank you Diana

I know this story but I’d forgotten it. I needed to be reminded. Thank you.

Great reminder that the struggle is the gift that causes us to become what we’ve always dreamed of.

Well Done! ThU!
Embrace The Struggle
Grow Wings
Fly

Good timing to stumble on this as I watch my daughter deal with job search frustrations and I want to help make the process “easier” for her.

Love the story. I am struggling now, but have learned enough to know that I will come out of this, and be better able to fly. Thanks for the reminder.

Released some heaviness on my heart. I am struggling and it’s so hard, but that gave me some hope

Thank you. I really needed to hear this story this morning.

I've had my time struggling. I've had my time suffering. Your story makes me realize that those times are necessary for me to see life as a whole and as a special gift. Much gratitude for you and you odd little butterfly!

Great story Yogi. I can personally identify. I actually did the exact same thing helping a baby duck birth it’s way out of it’s shell. It’s two other siblings fought their way out and the third looked as though it couldn’t do it. I too, broke away some of its shell and took away it’s natural instinct to fight to live and it didn’t make it. That being said, perhaps it’s whole purpose was to teach me the lesson of the hard work, struggle and fight we all do need to go through to get strong and grow our wings to fly, swim and walk in life. 😎🙏

Thank you for this beautiful, encouraging story! ❤

Niiiice and definitely relevant story 🙏🏽
